Outline of Final Research Achievements

Nrf2 regulates the cellular response to oxidative/electrophilic stresses, and loss of Keap1 increases Nrf2 protein level. As Keap1-null mice die of esophageal hyperkeratosis, whole-body phenotypes of Nrf2 hyperactivation in adult animals remain to be delineated. To circumvent this problem, we deleted esophageal Nrf2 in Keap1-null mice. These mice survived until adulthood, but developed polyuria with low osmolality and bilateral hydronephrosis. This novel phenotype appears to be attributable to defects in water reabsorption caused by a reduction in the level of the AQP2 channel in the kidney. This phenotype was recapitulated by renal tubular deletion of Keap1, which generated symptoms of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, demonstrating that Nrf2 activation in developing tubular cells causes a water reabsorption defect. Our approach to rescue mice from the lethal first hit of Keap1 ablation serves as a useful tool to study novel functions of Nrf2.
